Ventory, an enterprise software startup, has raised €2.65 million in a funding round led by KBC Securities, with participation from existing investors Finindus, Matterwave, and delaware.
Founded in 2021 by Vishal Punamiya, the company develops inventory management software designed for field operations, helping organisations track and optimise stock across distributed environments such as service vans, depots, and customer sites.
What The Company Does
Ventory provides a field inventory management platform that enables companies to track and control stock outside traditional warehouse environments. Its software is designed for operational settings where inventory is distributed across multiple locations, including service vehicles, on-site installations, and consignment stock held at customer premises.
The platform integrates directly with major enterprise resource planning systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and Sage. This allows organisations to synchronise inventory data in real time across existing enterprise infrastructure without replacing core systems.
Ventory replaces manual and fragmented processes such as spreadsheets, paper-based tracking, and disconnected digital tools with a centralised system for inventory visibility and control. The platform is used by organisations across healthcare, energy, logistics, and industrial sectors, including medical distributors, healthcare providers, a national railway operator, and a medical robotics manufacturer.

Market Context / Industry Background
Field inventory management remains a complex operational challenge for many large enterprises, particularly in industries where equipment, spare parts, and consumables are distributed across multiple locations and mobile teams.
Despite widespread digitisation in core enterprise systems, field operations often rely on outdated manual processes or fragmented tools that lack real-time synchronisation with central systems. This creates inefficiencies in stock visibility, replenishment planning, and asset utilisation.
As enterprises increasingly focus on operational efficiency and cost control, demand has grown for systems that extend ERP capabilities beyond the warehouse and into field environments. This includes real-time tracking, automated updates, and integration with broader supply chain and asset management workflows.
The company positions itself within this category of operational infrastructure software, focusing on digitising and standardising inventory processes that have historically been managed manually across industries.
It aims to improve visibility and operational efficiency significantly globally.
Founder / Investor Commentary
Founder Vishal Punamiya highlighted that a large portion of field inventory management still relies on spreadsheets, paper tickets, and disconnected tools despite handling significant operational value across industries.
He described the platform as a replacement for these fragmented systems, aiming to provide a unified, real-time view of inventory across vans, depots, consignment locations, and customer sites.
The involvement of KBC Securities reflects continued institutional interest in European B2B software companies addressing legacy operational inefficiencies in industrial and enterprise workflows.
Growth Plans / Use Of Funds
The €2.65 million investment will be used to accelerate AI product development and deepen integrations with enterprise ERP systems. The company also plans to expand its presence across Western Europe and strengthen its enterprise go-to-market and commercial teams.
A portion of the funding will also support scaling within existing customer segments and expanding adoption in industries with complex field service and distributed inventory operations.
The investment is part of a broader €100 million initiative by KBC Group aimed at supporting the Belgian startup ecosystem through early-stage and follow-on investments.
